Figures shown are past results and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share price and return will vary, so you may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value. An investment in the money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Class C share results are calculated with and without the effect of the contingent deferred sales charge (1%) on shares sold within a year of purchase. Results shown with the sales charge are lower than results without the sales charge.

Definitions and other information

Price: the amount you would pay for each share of the fund that day, or the amount you would receive if you sold shares that day, disregarding applicable sales charges.

Price change: the difference in share price between the most recent closing price on the New York Stock Exchange and the previous day’s closing price.

Year-to-date return: the net change in percentage in the value of the fund’s shares from January 1 of the current year to the date indicated. Short-term market volatility affects year-to-date returns more than longer term results. Average annual total returns cover longer periods of time.

7-day yield: calculated by annualizing dividends paid over the past seven days. Compared with returns, the 7-day yield more accurately reflects the fund’s current earnings. The investment adviser to American Funds has reimbursed certain expenses for American Funds Money Market Fund. These reimbursements may be adjusted or discontinued by the investment adviser at any time. The 7-day yield shown first (net) reflects reimbursements; the second yield (gross) does not. Yields shown are as of 5/31/13 and updated monthly.

Expenses: annual fund investment expenses, which are deducted from fund assets. The investment adviser is currently waiving a 0.10% management fee for the portfolio series funds. After December 31, 2013, the adviser may modify or terminate the waiver, but only with fund board approval. In addition, the investment adviser is reimbursing a portion of other expenses for American Funds Preservation Portfolio. For portfolio series funds, net expense ratios reflect the waiver and any current reimbursements, without which they would be higher. The adviser has committed to retain any reimbursements only through December 31, 2013. The expense ratios for all the funds in the portfolio fund series are as of each fund’s prospectus and include the weighted average expenses of the underlying funds. The expense ratios for funds in the American Funds Portfolio Series^SM are estimated. Please see each fund’s most recent shareholder report or prospectus for details. To estimate the investment expenses you might pay annually, multiply your balance in the fund by the expense ratio. Click on the name of a fund to see the fund details page, which includes investment expenses expressed as a dollar amount.

Investment results assume all distributions are reinvested and reflect applicable fees and expenses. Class C shares convert to Class F-1 shares in the month of the 10th anniversary of purchase. Although American Funds Money Market Fund has 12b-1 plans for some share classes, the fund is currently suspending certain 12b-1 payments in this low interest rate environment. Should payments commence, the fund’s investment results will be lower. When applicable, investment results reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which results would have been lower. See results without waivers and/or reimbursements. Read details about how waivers and/or reimbursements affect the results for each fund.

Class C shares were first offered on March 15, 2001. Class C share returns prior to the date shares first sold are hypothetical. Certain results for Short-Term Bond Fund of America include hypothetical returns because the fund’s Class C shares first sold after the fund began operations on October 2, 2006. A fund’s hypothetical returns prior to the date of first sale were calculated by adjusting Class A share results without a sales charge for the difference between the Class A share expense ratio and the estimated Class C share expense ratio as of the date of first sale over the first 10 years. See the dates of first sale and expense adjustments for Class C shares. Please see fund prospectuses for more information about specific expenses.

For funds in the Portfolio Fund Series, the investment adviser is currently waiving its management fee of 0.10% and reimbursing a portion of other expenses. Investment results reflect the waiver and reimbursements, without which the results would have been lower. After December 31, 2013, the adviser may modify or terminate the waiver, but only with fund board approval. The adviser has committed to retain any reimbursements only through December 31, 2013.

Investment allocations may not achieve fund objectives. There are expenses associated with the underlying funds in addition to fund of funds expenses. The funds’ risks are directly related to the risks of the underlying funds as described below.

Investing outside the United States involves risks such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility, as more fully described in the prospectus. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Investing in smaller companies also involves risks, and small-company stocks can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds.

The return of principal for bond funds and for funds with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Shares of funds with bond holdings are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds held by the funds. Investments in mortgage-related securities involve risks, such as prepayment risk, as more fully described in the prospectus. Unlike mutual fund shares, investments in U.S Treasuries are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to the payment of principal and interest. In addition, certificates of deposit (CDs) are FDIC-insured and, if held to maturity, offer a guaranteed return of principal.

For more information about the risks associated with each fund, read the prospectus. You can also click on the fund name for a fact sheet.

For more information about the tax-exempt funds offered by American Funds, please talk to your financial professional.

Contingent deferred sales charges may be waived in certain circumstances, such as for death and disability. See fund prospectuses for details.

Daily figures are subject to revision.

Class C share average annual total returns with CDSC reflect deduction of the contingent deferred sales charge. A 1% CDSC is paid on Class C shares sold within one year of purchase.

Class C share average annual total returns without CDSC do not reflect deduction of the contingent deferred sales charge. A 1% CDSC is paid on Class C shares sold within one year of purchase.
